郵輪雞尾酒座談會/莊峻華

郵輪雞尾酒座談會/莊峻華

許多郵輪乘客，在船上飲酒，而且不計價格，非常瀟灑，這是歐美之消費

者，我也喜歡飲酒，但未養成習慣，在船上有三次可以喝上酒，全是免費

，房間一瓶香檳，牛排店一瓶紅酒，，另外海上首日，有一老顧客酒會，

這兩次郵輪都幾次舉辦雞尾酒座談會，就是試酒品嚐，一次繳費$24，約

是六高腳雞尾酒杯，就在酒吧前舉行，我先後參觀旁聽四次，從馬丁尼，

搭吉拉，到蘭姆酒，十分有趣，這位講者，華特曼都沙，是首席調酒師，

阿根廷布宜諾斯艾利斯市人，英俊瀟灑，為人彬彬有禮。座談會分別在幾

座餐廳酒吧舉行，例如馬丁尼，一直在六層甲板法國餐廳外，蓋士比酒品

，塔吉拉在十二層墨西哥餐廳塔吉拉酒吧，蘭姆在十三層巴西餐廳內酒吧

。

馬丁尼，我聽了兩次，十分有趣，我回家後，再查谷歌，稍知一二，基本

酒兩種，杜松子酒和苦艾酒，杜松子是一類似松樹之果，是杜松核，酷似

紫色漿果，可以釀酒，苦艾酒是以葡萄酒為底，加上草藥，根，和樹皮等

，共同釀造，最早起源於義大利杜林，曼都沙解釋來源和種類，例如乾馬

丁尼是甚麼？就是混何杜松子酒和非常乾之苦艾酒，從過去之四比一，一

直比例減少到一百比一，置於酒瓶內，用勁搖晃，然後加鹹橄欖和橘皮，

影片上很多場面出現，007龐徳有專愛。

我在墨西哥卡斯墨街上行軍，遇見一塔吉拉酒肆，受邀入店品嚐酒，店員

將塔吉拉酒，倒入極小塑膠杯，約五毫米立方，我連續享用最多之三次，

深覺美味，這是墨西哥中部專產，曼都沙在十二層，羅波餐廳塔吉拉酒吧

，有講解示範，這是雞尾酒，添加物有果汁，糖漿等，然後酒瓶猛晃，他

也給一小杯純塔吉拉酒，和清水，參加者一共有六杯品嚐。塔吉拉酒是一

種貌似鳳梨之龍舌蘭果，釀造而成，許多喝法，西部時代，玻璃杯有鹽和

青皮小檸檬，然後一杯而盡，現在流行者，瑪格莉打雞尾酒，也是鹽巴小

檸檬。

最後一節是蔗糖釀製之蘭姆酒，這是加勒比海和南美之專利，，因無人報

名而取消，我有機會請教他蒸餾技術，這是歐洲釀酒術之特長。回家後，

檢視庫存美酒，尚有幾瓶，先將半瓶餘蘭姆酒喝盡，佐以清燉牛肉湯，確

實享受。

Visiting Basseterre, St. Kitts/Carlos Pueblo

 Visiting Basseterre, St. Kitts/Carlos Pueblo

St. Kitts and Nevis was the final stop of our Eastern Caribbean tour with Dawn

and the following day we would sail at sea for two days back to Tampa, Florida.

Basseterre is a lovely town and the capital city. I marched through a beautiful

and busy old town toward a pier of sail boats and saw the Nevis Island across

the sea. Then I was under the threat of rain shower yet I was prepared with an

umbrella in my back pack. I followed the streets to a castle like church and down

to a street with a famous bakery and kept on going through a high school with

a soccer field to the end of the long street. I saw a familiar flag hanging on a tall

pole and I visited the rare embassy of Taiwan.

The name of this commonwealth nation is quite long, St. Christopher and Nevis,

and has been developed since Columbus’s discovery in 1492. After Spanish

turmoil domestically, the British took it over. The famous British naval commander

, Horatio Nelson, married a young widow of a plantation owner from Nevis, Frances

Nisbet, while on his assignment in the Caribbean. I read the story at Google and also

found another interesting story of Napoleon Bonaparte married another young

widow from the neighboring Martinique Island where I visited three days ago. This

reading has helped me to understand the picture of Europe at that time. I love the

islands very much even though I haven’t experienced the crystal clear beach,

mountain ridge and many natural wonderful scenery.

Recently I watched an You tube video about the beautiful lady ambassador of St.

Kitts, Jasmine Elise Huggins, contribute a duplicate of a classical building of her

Nation to the Lanteran Festival of Taipei City. I was very impressed of her appearance

and her brief dialogue with the vice mayor and Taiwanese audience. I did enter and

visited Taiwanese Embassy compound on that day. It was raining and the lady guard

was kindly invited me to be shelter inside her guard house. Afterward, the rain stopped

, she took me to the backyard to check on a mango tree with green fruits hanging on

the tree, a pomegranate tree with fruits and  a star fruit tree with fruits inside the

neighbor’s yard by the fence. I wished that I could pick them on that day. The gate

was opening automatically and an employee of the embassy came in for an overtime

work on Saturday. She invited me to the guest room. This has been a two story frame

house converted to a business building. There is a nicely green lawn in the front. We

chatted almost everything about the nation bout St. Kitts and Taiwan. She introduced

me the effort of Taiwan to help St. Kitts hospital building a security system of their

record. She also mentioned the well educate Primer of the nation and I checked out

his name, Timothy Harris, the University of West Indies and McGill and Concodia of

Montreal, Canada. His effort on education has been noticed worldwide.

Visiting Castries, St. Lucia/Carlos Pueblo

Visiting Castries, St. Lucia/Carlos Pueblo

It has been almost every day to land on an island on this eastern Caribbean route.

It is called Lesser Antilles or Leeward Islands, those islands chain connected the

South and North America continents. I walked out of the ship and ran into a

handsome young man on a welcome tourists’ uniform chatted with me on a subject

of martial art. Then, I marched as usual route toward the right hand direct around

the old town, I visited a public library for e-mail access, Derek Walcott Square, a

Cathedral, and finally on my way back to the ship, I stopped at the front of the city

hall and took some pictures of Sir John George Melvin Compton, the founder of

this island nation and a philosopher.

I don’t actually exercise martial art in any way in my life; however, I read many

knightly and chivalrous Chinese classical novels when I was a child and I always

have had fantasy of Japanese samurai movies. Garvin Charlemagne has a part time

job as a kung fu master and he feels my conclusion is interesting. Kung fu is for

personal exercise as the best and nothing more.

City library is on one side of Derek Walcott Square, a beautiful garden fenced with

a huge tree in the center. Library is small yet with plenty of computer for anyone

needs a computer access. Derek Walcott was a Nobel Laureate 1992, a poet. On

the opposite side of the square, there is a catholic cathedral. It was very busy on

that day full of activity inside the church. I went inside to check after the meeting

finished. A young mother told me that was an celebration of a new lady governor

general taking up the office. The schools filled up the church with uniformed

children.

On my way back to the ship, I stopped by the square in front of the city hall, might

Be the capital of the island nation. I read the statue of Sir John George Melvin

Compton, the funder of this nation. He successful negotiated with London to let

St. Lucia be independent, still honor the Queen as the head of the nation. He

had served several terms as a primer. The prime minister is the majority of the

congress and the governor general is his administrator fulfill his will.

初訪聖露西亞卡斯特列鎮/莊峻華

初訪聖露西亞卡斯特列鎮/莊峻華

此東加勒比海行，非常緊湊，一日一島，郵輪舒適，不覺疲累，我到聖露

西亞島，下船開始行軍，這是前法屬英屬島國，是加勒比海國家主義者之

中心，講的是破碎法語，但英語也是官方語言，這是台灣可以學習之處，

在碼頭和一位官方導遊，聊起中國功夫武術，參觀徳瑞克華寇花園廣塲，

旁邊之大主教堂，回船時，經過鎮公所廣塲，有一紀念銅像，紀念這位加

勒比海獨立運動之先驅，約翰喬治梅爾文康普頓爵士，聖露西亞開國總理

。

先説這位英俊有禮青年，卡文查理曼，是位黑帶跆拳道高手，他一直和我
談中國武術，還好我少年時代，浸淫於中國俠義技擊小説甚久，真正涉及
跆拳道，是在服兵役期間之早操，我提醒他武術到對打境界之危險，武打
影片之情況，都是幻境，都是作者導演之傳統想像，他甚覺交談有趣，此
談讓我比較日本和中國劍術影片，情境上之不同，日本比劍是瞬間，中國
比劍則是飛天走地，纏打多時，難分勝負，刀槍有眼。

徳瑞克華寇花園廣場，是紀念這位文學家，1992年諾貝爾文學獎，我查谷

歌，他是以詩為長，廣場中有株巨樹，非常難得，我在旁一角落市鎮立圖

書館，使用電腦家書後，禁不住熱鬧，走到另一角落，天主教大教堂，學

校動員小學生，前來教堂，慶祝新任國家領袖，一位女士接任總督，總督

執行總理意志，總理是國會領袖，元首仍究是英皇，是有有趣之國家。

然後就逛到鎮公所廣塲，也是首都，有許多人，坐在廣塲周圍，很像過年

，耶誕節佈置，仍未卸下，前面有一銅像，紀念首任總理，約翰喬治梅爾

文康普頓爵士，他在1979年，成功的與英帝國談妥獨立，擔任幾任總理，

主張加勒比海諸國之合作，如此小國，居然有如此眼光之政治家，聖露西

亞算是一有條有理之國家。

Visiting Bridgetown, Barbados/Carlos Pueblo

Visiting Bridgetown, Barbados/Carlos Pueblo

There is quite a distance from the pier to the old Bridgetown; therefore I march

as usual. It is a boulevard along the rocky beach there and behind it there are 6

major cruise vessels anchoring off shore. I ran into Yuan Yuan, my lovely Chinese

daughter at the atrium front desk, and she completed her early visit to the town.

I made a turn left toward the busier streets and ran into some street vendors,

two Jehovah Witness ladies, then walking toward the higher courthouses park

and neighborhood subdivision. On my way back, I ran into more street vendors

and a regular indoor market.

I first met Yuan Yuan was on the 2^nd Dawn cruise and she was assigned outside of

the counter of customers service to intercept the que for some simple service. Now

I am confused where she is from, either Hebei Province or Sandong, anyway, they are

in the northern part of China. She is a beautiful and lovely girl with very good manners.

I am very proud to introduce all my daughters in this department, the best of Dawn.

Ana, GSAM, guest service area manager with 2 and a half strip on her shoulders. Silvia

Lin of the Taiwanese Argentine her Kanji first name, Chia-Lien, is derived from her

mother and father’s hometowns in Taiwan, Chia Yi and Hualien.  He Zhang is from

Wuhan, Hubei, a very attractive lady. Mary Ann Go, a Filipino lady with a Chinese surname

, is because that her parents may speak Amoy  like my mother tongue. Go means Wu in

Mandarin, is a very popular last name. Romaila, another pretty that I sometimes  am

Confused with Silvia. More, three more from the 3^rd trip with Dawn, Xiaotong Rong from

the Sky, is from Tsindao, Sandong; Elaina from Brazil is very pretty and sweet with good

manners. I must apology for this last lady from Bosnia, a slender beauty who has been

to two famous mountains in the Chinese traditional martial arts legendary, Wudan

Mountain of the Daoism in Hubei and Wu Mountain nearby Chongching, Sichuan. She

spoke Mandarin.

The old town streets were full of people, both the locals and the passengers from the

cruises ships. While tourists were looking for beautiful beaches and shopping, I was

engaging the tropical fruits searching.  I did pass by a mongo stand with native species

small kinds. One piece asked for one U.S. It looked better than at Curacao yet I skipped

it and kept on moving. I went to say Hi to two ladies of Jehovah Witness stand. I

expressed my respect of their effort to save souls in the world. I asked Rosie Hunt, a

singer on the cruise ships. One of the ladies was her old classmate and hadn’t seen her

since both left school. I have had two singers daughters on board, Kayrie and Danielle,

are both from this island. I kept on moving toward the main national courthouse park

area. There are so many beautiful red flowers on big trees which I don’t know the name.

It looks as red as royal Poinciana, or delonix regia; however, it’s not, the laters  are next

side by side no yet blooming. I entered to an old neighborhood with some re-innovated

job done.

On my way back to the ship, I did walk by a street full of vendors for fruits and vegetable.

Later, there is an indoor market with half full vendors without meat and fish sections

open. A man quarreled with someone in a loud voice really made everyone very

uncomfortable. I asked the Jehovah Witness lady about the high food price and she

told me simply that they still needed to live. I can imagine the economic that a small

island with limited resource and regularly pulled in so many tourists with cash to buy

that will drive up the price if not well prepared to meet the demand.

  

初訪巴貝多橋鎮/莊峻華

初訪巴貝多橋鎮/莊峻華

橋鎮碼頭，到老街中心，需要行軍，經過一美麗之岩岸海邊公園，我在路上

，巧遇愛女園園，這是位山東美女，她藉清晨空檔，出來逛逛，約不曾走太

遠，船上愛女均問，出去乎？都到些何處？道別她後，我在大道盡頭左轉，

走向市中心，看到水果攤，街道像是台灣之農曆年，有六艘郵輪停泊外海，

我和耶和華見證會女士們聊天，這是我旅行之養成習慣，然後拜訪法院大廈

區花園，還有鄰近住宅區。

園園在大廳客務服務台工作，這是郵輪公關前線，都是第一美女俊男，而且

英語流利，思考敏捷，而且禮貌週到，連我這蹧老頭，居然認收幾乎所有女

職員為女兒，當然這是兩個船期二十天，包括辦公室內之女經理，都完成合

照手續，她名安娜朗協斯巴理斯，雙線官階。園園初遇時，站在長龍前，手

持筆記，先行攔截客戶疑問，如她可解決，就無需再等候到櫃台，這是旅館

部之高招，後來我路過就前往招呼，我記憶中，她是山東煙台人，我對山東

特別親切，當兵在小金門山東師服役兩年。嘉蓮是阿根廷台灣姑娘，能言北

京語曰，父親來自花蓮，母親來自嘉義，移民阿根廷務農。小鶴姑娘是湖北

武漢人，瑪莉安吳是菲律賓華人，我相信她父母講廈門語，還有一位美女羅

邁菈，是菲律賓姑娘，另外三位是第三次航程西加勒比海線，續收之愛女，

榮姑娘筱彤，青島姑娘，是天空號剛調來，巴西姑娘伊蓮娜，美麗甜蜜迷人

，她們都是掛名國際旅客服務，最後一位，更令我難忘，她是巴斯尼亞人，

曾到湖北武當山修練，也到過四川巫山，巫山雲雨，都是武俠小説之勝地。

 街上有芒果攤，色澤不是上品，但比苦拉紹島好些，要價一粒一美元，就是

我們虎尾之土芒果，我問起路邊之耶和華見證會女士，她們曰此地物價高昂

，食物約是進口，沒有甚麼好收入，但仍就需要活下去，許多巴貝多人，移

民到美加英等國，我詢問一位當地歌手，羅西韓特，我在兩艘郵輪，珠寶和

寶玉兩號遇過，一位女士是其同學，但畢業後也不再見面，是各奔前程。

我想找公共圖書館，結果找到巴貝多法院區，這是一美侖美奐之花園，警察

局就在對面，花園內許多不知名之大樹，紅花怒放，很像鳳凰花，但不是，

因鳳凰樹在旁，間插種植，法院甚具規模，而且十分尊嚴，出入法律人也是

西裝革履。對面老住宅區，約是舊日工廠宿社區，雖是簡陋，我走進去，一

點都不覺威脅，有些老住宅，已經重建，也看到雞群遊走，又讓我想像。回

船路上，許多路邊攤，販賣果蔬，也有一室內菜市場，十分吵雜，大聲吵架

，非常不習慣。

First visit to a vegetable market at Fort France, Martinique/Carlos Pueblo

First visit to a vegetable market at Fort France, Martinique/Carlos Pueblo

On my way back to the ship, I ran into a nice vegetable market inside a high

ceiling building which I guessed was an old rum factory or an ethanol refinery

from the un-crystalized sugar pulp. My readers would question that how I

could be so well learned. I was from a sugar factory in the central south of

Formosa with some set up of refining sugar, ethanol and one small mountain

township with Sake factory. A major building in the Caribbean must be

something to do with sugar and rum can be one of the chain product down

stream.

Passion fruits were abundant as usual because they were easier to grow in

the wild and just required to be picked up. The kinds in Caribbean are the

same as in Houston park; however, their sour taste could not compare with

with the purple skin kinds in Taiwan or Spain. I can only imagine that the local

prefer to these yellow skin one for juice mixed with sugar syrup. I saw dark

skin seedless watermelon 10 lbs. or less weight and looked delicious. I saw

bread fruit yet no free sample to be tried. I was informed that the bread fruit,

jackfruit, and Julian fruit were in the same family with funky smell when ripe.

I saw plenty of cassava on the side of sweet potato on the vegetable stands. I

have been keen to this crop ever since my father’s duty in my first home town

on the central part of Taiwan, Puli. He was an engineer in charge of the cassava

powder plant. I was familiar with the plant, root, and how the factory crashed

the root to make juice for the powder procedure and dried the pulp for hogs’

feed. I think that Mexican use the powder to make tortilla. Some other regular

vegetable were familiar to me because of my sub-tropical area childhood back

ground.

Pineapple was not in season obviously that I didn’t see very many; otherwise I

would attempt to pick a ripe one to eat. I love pineapple all my life and even

have learned how to pick and eye check the sweetness. The sound like when

you clap your neck that means the fruit is ripe while snap the fruit with a wood

sound means not ripe. In the U.S. market, I don’t see ripe sound often; however,

some pineapple are still very delicious, i.e. at the Garden Café, the pineapple

stray is my favorite.

加勒比海諸島之果蔬市場/莊峻華

加勒比海諸島之果蔬市場/莊峻華

果蔬攤和果蔬市場，一直是我多次旅行加勒比海之目的，從地理位置，此

區在熱帶亞熱帶，四季如春，適宜植物成長，應有我懷念之台灣故鄉之水

果，芒果甘蔗等，一直失望，一直到荷屬苦若説島，真正像樣之果蔬市場

，應該是從法屬馬丁尼克之法蘭西堡開始，然後巴貝多之橋鎮等等，我興

奮之逛上各市塲，而且拍攝許多相片留念。

水果是我三餐之大宗，尤其是郵輪上，每日均需取食多次花園餐廳，郵輪

餐廳水果品質第一流，而且包括在船票上，島上之熱帶水果，則需要打上

幾次算盤，始敢下手購買。看到甚麼水果？百香果，黃皮帶酸，和台灣西

班牙等之紫皮種有差異，這些成熟是甜中微酸，非常可口。麵包果，甚多

聽聞，仍未有吃過經驗，此果與榴槤同科，成熟時亦有特殊味道。肉桂皮

，是特大號，不像小時後，山鎮埔里之小號幹枝可啃，這是磨粉用者也。

也看到黑皮無子西瓜，僅重十磅以下，但似甜蜜。也有橘類水果，芒果甘

蔗等，當地人前來採購甚多。

蔬菜種類許多，佛掌瓜，辣椒，蕃薯，木薯，蕃茄，青瓜多種等，我未見

到新鮮魚肉市場，倒是無主家雞常見，當然是比較富裕之島嶼。我稍察看

這些果蔬價格，居然比休士頓貴，我説的是火拚下之東方超市價格，於是

我就開始猜測，開始詢問，當地人也承認，通貨膨脹，但曰仍究需要生活

下去矣。

Visiting Fort de France, Martinique/Carlos Pueblo

Visiting Fort de France, Martinique/Carlos Pueblo

This is the 4^th stop for our Eastern Caribbean Islands tour with Dawn. I walked

out of the pier toward the fort on the right hand direction as usual. The official

tourist information stand was right there in the front and the ladies understood

my few lines of French greeting even though they humbly indicated that they

only spoke broken French, Antillean Creole similar to our Cajun French in Louisiana.

Lime Lafare was there with her tourist’s portfolio at hands and explained my

questions. The tourists pushed her toward the Fort entrance and I had had additional

discussions with her. The Spanish discovered the Island first yet the French effectively

ruled the island till this day. Martinique is legitimate territory even though Paris likes

to get rid of it and the citizen reject the idea. Lime mentioned that I should see her

son’s face and phoenix eyes with Chinese heritage. Come to think about it, her first

name sounded like a Hakka girl’s , jasmine plum, I adopted her as my Martinique

daughter and her son as my grandson. She told me to visit the statue of Josephine

without her head at the garden park nearby.

If I mention Napoleon Bonaparte, you would remember this Josephine de Beauhanais

of Martinique, his lover and first wife. Josephine gave him his first opportunity to grasp

the command of a battery battalion and the rest was European history. Some vendors

chopped off her statute head and the city couldn’t restore or remove it from the park.

I walked into a museum like city library to write an e-mail home. Basically, the city is

lovely similar to certain part of Paris with several squares with flowers arrangement

with tropical plants decoration such as mango trees with green fruits hanging on.

It has been very simple to understand the Caribbean. First was the native Indian and

the numbers were very insignificant due to food to be survival; Second was the discovery

by Columbus and the Spanish came in, then pirates, English, French, and Dutch pulled

in to grasp from Spain and during this time, all of them imported African slave to the

Caribbean and transferred to North America for profit. During the WWII, European

Nations were busy to fight each other and left the Caribbean alone for some time and

some island became independent and some selected otherwise and there were difference

of better off or worse off situation.

I think of my home country Formosa very much when I travel to the Caribbean. We are

under tremendous Chinese pressure to become a part of China, in contrary to what the

European nations’ attitude toward Caribbean. There is a different and very much different

philosophy of ruling and colonization nowadays. I feel very sorry for Taiwanese for we have

to face the communist Chinese.

船抵馬丁尼克法蘭西港/莊峻華

船抵馬丁尼克法蘭西港/莊峻華

此為東加勒比海行第四站，西班牙先發現，法國真正有效統治，一直到現

在，仍是法國直屬，我在歐盟布魯塞爾市總部，看到許多非裔兒童歐盟廣

告，初甚不解，現在是身履其境矣，馬丁尼克貨幣是歐元，講的是安特列

克列奧蕾語，他們謙稱破碎法語，我的幾句法語招呼，他們都聽懂。

碼頭前，就是一大片美麗公園，仍就是邁向右方，這是美麗城堡方向。莉

梅菈費兒，是官派遊覽職員，我從走道上，到城堡門口，一直和她聊天，

她說我應見她小男孩，然後比上鳳眼，說是她們有華人血統，這莉梅就像

客家姑娘名，原來加勒比海地主，在黑奴解放後，從廣東移民許多農工，

來接非裔黑奴地位，但非奴隸待遇，我離開前，認收她為義女，有天真要

拜訪這位鳳眼長孫，她曾是記者，知識豐富，非常健談，她介紹我，約瑟

芬波翰迺斯，斷頭雕像，就在附近花園內。

我說拿破崙，大家就知道這位約瑟芬，她是拿破崙之情人，第一任夫人，

她確是來自馬丁尼克，後人為她立碑，有無知者，將此藝術品破壞，我讀

拿破崙傳記，此女幫拿破崙取得一砲兵指揮權，然後就是歐洲歴史。我在

碑前拍攝相片留念，自古英雄惜美人，法蘭西市約無經費修護斷頭，法國

也缺惜愛美人者，任風吹雨打，許多感嘆遊客。

花園旁，就是鬧區，街道商店，非常繁榮，我在一宮殿型圖書館，使用電

腦，書寫家書，然後逛街，許多有趣建築，就像巴黎市一般，許多廣塲，

美侖美奐，街上擠滿遊客。

莉梅解釋，當地人不願脫離法國獨立，居民深覺現狀就好，法新任總統再

提，居民委任巴黎代表拒絕，非常有趣，波多黎哥，大開曼島，馬丁尼克

四例，中國要台灣，台灣抵死不從，何故也？中國落後矣，落後思想，只

想併吞領土，而不知先造福國民。
